Have you ever thought, “Why am I like this in relationships?”
Maybe you snap faster than you want to.
Maybe you shut down when things get hard.
Maybe you say “yes” to keep the peace and then feel resentful later.
That’s not you “failing at relationships.”
That’s your nervous system trying to keep you safe. 🧠💗
When your system is stuck in:
🔥 Fight/flight – you may react quickly, talk fast, get defensive.
🧊 Freeze – you may shut down, go numb, avoid the conversation.
🤝 Fawn – you may people-please, over-apologize, and lose yourself.
As your nervous system feels more supported and regulated, it becomes easier to:
• Stay present during hard conversations
• Communicate your needs
• Repair after conflict instead of spiraling
If you saw yourself in these slides, you’re not alone — and you’re not broken. Your system just needs support, not more self-judgment. 🌿
If you’d like help creating more regulation (for you and the people you love), you’re always welcome in my office in Ocala.
